I found the premise of this odd. I also live in Brooklyn and have had no issues finding bucatini this year. It's consistently in stock at my nearby whole foods.

I agree that we frequently see this on HN in regards to aviation. However, I don;t think it applies to Greenspun. He's a knowledgeable and active pilot himself.

Do you have a source for this? My understanding is the Mercedes "Attention Assist" is based off driving behavior and not a camera pointed at the driver.

358KIAS is in fact (or is close) to the Vne (never exceed) speed of an A330. This is an indicated airspeed limit while mach numbers are based off TAS (True Airspeed). Here's a link to help explain the differences between IAS/CAS a

Wooden multi-story building are standard in the US, at least in the midwest. Many new apartment buildings less than 7 stories are constructed with wood. I actually live in a 6 story wooden building with about 300 housing units. Also, steppi

It sounds like this is geared toward "high growth" startups. "With Stripe Atlas, you can establish a C-Corporation for your business in Delaware." Probably not ideal for a typical small business.

I agree, I remember it being very poor compared to my Bose aviation headset. Still was a cool proof of concept. I imagine with the right software/hardware it could work just as well as external ANR

There are also ways to do Active Noise Cancelling without an external battery and without a new cable. I had an old Sony laptop that did ANR with software on the laptop and mics on the earpieces wired back into the laptop. Also the connecto

Modern aircraft have excellent redundancy. Commercial aircraft already typically have 3 Pitot* tubes and 3 static ports. They need unobstructed airflow and are placed accordingly. In this kind of aircraft they do cross-verify each other as

What you're describing is tax-withholding. In this situation you would receive the extra tax withheld when you file your tax return, so you're not really having extra tax taken from you. You could also always claim more allowances

I was also wondering about its ability to determine the direction of traffic. If it relies on a location having a separate entrance and exit, that's a pretty big negative. I'm also wondering how it handles large groups. Does anyon

"Dwolla now supports wire transfers for deposits." It looks like wire transfer is only supported for depositing money into Dwolla.

That is considered an ACH transfer, which is the same way that you normally fund your Dwolla account. A wire transfer allows larger amounts and is much quicker but usually has significant fees attached to it. ( As well as some other differe
